Haha, the only thing that comes to mind is Little Women (Little Women, #1) by Louisa May Alcott

Just finished Endless Knight (The Arcana Chronicles, #2) by Kresley Cole and had to start Dead of Winter (The Arcana Chronicles, #3) by Kresley Cole immediately.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 152 comments Just started up Dead of Winter (The Arcana Chronicles, #3) by Kresley Cole ! I could have started it Thrusday, but sadly I've been working so hard that exhaustion has been taking over my reading time.

Yep Sylvia and I have been working on it for two years. The next book for me isn't out yet and I have a feeling I'm not going to like that.

I read Poison Princess and loved it but couldn't find the next one that wasn't $8 so I started others and before I knew it two years had passed. A friend gave me the next two recently and started EK and that ending led me immediately to DoW. I have a feeling the ending to that one will make me crazy until the next one comes out.

The first one that comes to mind is Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta by Melina Marchetta whose main character is called Josie ....it's one of Marchetta's first novels and is an exceptional contemporary YA

There is also Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1) by Morgan Rhodes which has a MC called Jonas


I can't think of any more right now...I read mostly UF and fantasy which tend to have more unusual names, but I'm sure there are tons of books with MC called Josh, Joel, Joseph, John etc even if female JO names are less common

I plan on listening to book 2 for Red Rising soon too. And I LOVED Archer's Voice. Glad you're enjoying both.

Ahhhh yeah I can see how that would happen. I think it'd be really hard for me to get into the book too if I had seen the movie first too Sara.

Bree (breesc23) Heather, the ABC name challenge thread may have some suggestions. A lot of the members have tons of books already read or listed for the letter J or any other letters.

I am so thinking about reading The Lipstick Laws by Amy Holder because it's been on my TBR for a while now. I have a hankering for something funny and for some reason I think this one is.

Right there with ya, I devoured Sebastian and Kaderin's book and I had to dive right into WDoaWN. This series is better than BDB, just as sexy and addicting without having to sit through being inside the enemy's head every other chapter!

I was getting way behind after a major book slump, so I've been flying through them over the past couple of weeks. Missed getting excited over books, as I know you can relate!!

So Cole has replaced Ward as my fave PNR writer for sure, I loved every second of No Rest for the Wicked (Immortals After Dark, #3) by Kresley Cole and now I'm already diving into Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night (Immortals After Dark, #4) by Kresley Cole because she's just that awesome at sucking you in!

Also got my ARC of Spend the Night II (The Hotel Collection, #2) by Elizabeth Lee and didn't put it down until I finished it, Elizabeth has me so twisted up with this serial and waiting another week to figure everything out is going to be torture!!

I can totally see why it would having to wait so long! That really bothers me too and also trying to remember the last book you read in the series too ugh which is why I'm putting off reading City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6) by Cassandra Clare for the life of me I can't recall what's happened in the previous book lol

Jumped into Rock Chick Redemption (Rock Chick, #3) by Kristen Ashley needed a dose of KA yumminess LOL! Next up after Ready Player One by Ernest Cline for our weekly RC and it'll also work for our yearly Clean Your TBR RC too since I've had it in my tbr forever, so that'll be a win-win. I hope it's a good one since I've been wanting to read it for such a long-time. Then I'm jumping in excitement for Bound by Flames (Night Prince, #3) by Jeaniene Frost & The Mime Order (The Bone Season, #2) by Samantha Shannon EEEKKKPPP!! They release tomorrow!!!! this is what I want my reading week to be :)
